"I don't think it's going to change people's behavior," Gary Ainsworth, the city's public information officer, told the Daily News. "Any time you have an eye in the sky, it's better than having just eyes on the ground."

Ainsworth said there won't be a specific schedule during spring break their drones will be patrolling, and pointed out they were not specifically requested to watch over college students on the beach.

The officer told the News they had requested these drones a while ago, and it was just a coincidence they arrived so close to spring break.

This will be the first time the city's police roll out their two drones in the popular town.

"We can use it for beach patrol," police chief Randy Smith told Valley Central. "We're looking at deploying some that have a safety feature that releases a life jacket over a subject that is in distress."

They plan on using it for other surveillance missions in the future, police said.

"We don't have a helicopter, but we've got something that can provide a similar opportunity for us," Ainsworth said.
